1 Instrument Panel Failure problem of the 2020 Honda Pilot

Failure Date: 02/12/2020

With only about 1200 miles on my new 2020 Honda Pilot, I started to hear loud popping and crackling sounds coming from my speakers. On the first trip to the dealership they said they replaced the amp on the infotainment system. That lasted for about 2 miles, then it started to do it again, this time with the infotainment system led screen going black for several minutes then rebooting multiple times before finally coming back on. On my second trip to the dealership, they told me that they adjusted the wiring harness and tightened a few screws. This temporary fix did last about 4 weeks, but the problem came back with a vengeance. This time, in addition to the popping and crackling sounds that are annoying in itself, both led screens, the infotainment one and my instrument panel one are constantly rebooting and staying out for long periods of time each. In addition, the screen panel does feel hot to the touch now when this happens. So, on my third trip to the dealer we discussed this and they kept my vehicle for a couple days so they can look it over. . . When I picked it up I was told that they couldn't replicate the problem after driving it for about 18 miles over 2 days. They also informed me that they contacted Honda directly and were told that their engineers are aware of these issues but don't have a "fix" yet. So a day after leaving the dealership the instrument panel as well as the infotainment center went black/completely out while I was going down a busy interstate. I could not tell my speed nor any other vehicle data as the instrument panel was dead. While the infotainment center going out is bad, having no instrument panel is very dangerous and a major safety concern. I'm worried this is only the beginning of something more serious which is going to cause a fatal crash. There needs to be a nationwide recall immediately!!.
